So last night after work i went to my local sierra breakers and get new stalk switch...was thinking it will be fixed but OMG how wrong i was..with big puff of smoke new switch melt and burnt in my hands..no luck..start looking thrue wiring find nothing..as last ting looked at wiper motor and bingo..there it was..motor become loose turned and jamed it self in and melt some wires...so plan is to track wire from loom..disconnect it put motor right..run new wire with inline 10A fuse as there is no new fuse there..and hope motor still work..any advice on that?

looks like you are bonding with the car

[tractor]

there is a small fuse box which has I think five fuses in it which is under the scuttle by the steering column

[Guest janis]

I seen that but there is no wiper fuse..ahh its only wee things..u cant just drive them and expect nothing will broke..it woud be boring

[tractor]

its a kit car things break and fall off

[tractor]

it was my intention this winter to do a full rewire on it although it has the Vicky green loom there is still way to many wires on the car and not enough fuses

[tractor]

so instead of rewiring 2b this winter I am rewiring the zero

[Guest janis]

Yea there is lots wires all over the place..

Have you got the thick rubber isolation pad that fits behind the motor in place? If not then the motor will be looser in the bracket and will twist. I may be wrong but the tube coming out of the motor looks too short and is not swaged for the wiper wheel box to grip on to it.

the wipers didn't work at all when I got car the so I fabricated some bits out of plumbing gear and they worked for a year not that I drove it much in the rain

[Guest janis]

I woud say it just rattle loose a bit and motor turned and jamed..yes there is rubber justwasnt tight enough maybe..

Before you go fixing it all up, as Chris says, he didn't use the wipers a lot.

It might be worth checking the motor still runs freely on its own.

Also the same with the gearbox's. And cable.

Without wiper blades on and disconnected from the motor you should be able to slide the cable outerwear along the inner cable.

That should turn the gearbox's at the same time.

Test the motor when disconnected by carefully feeding it from the battery.

If your pinkies get warm, the motor is faulty.

If your cable/gearboxes are seized, that would be why the tubing has pulled out of its motor anchorage.
